BEST VEGETARIAN-FRIENDLY RESTAURANT

Triple Rock Social Club

One of the few Twin Cities locations that offers poutine (fries smothered in salty gravy and cheese curds), plus free bacon on Wednesdays, is the best place for vegetarian and even vegan food? Seems counterintuitive, but trust us: The Triple Rock silences with one slice of the vegan meatloaf. The mock duck po' boy has a reputation as large as the Triple Rock's portions, though maybe vegan pigs in a blanket are more your speed? If so, you'll find that breakfast features a hearty selection of normally unheard-of options: vegan pancakes and French toast, a tofu scramble with vegan nacho cheese complemented with loads of veggies. Even carnivores have been known to order the vegan macaroni and cheese or the sloppy Joe, which can be capped off with a vegan white Russian for the ultimate in cruelty-free indulgence. Consider this the greasy spoon for the green set.
